Cerdded Clawdd Offa/Walking Offa's Dyke
A Ceredigion man diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder will be setting off on Monday June 6th to walk the 177 miles(official figure) but 186 miles (actual figure) from Prestatyn to Chepstow to raise money for the Mental Health Charity Mind. "In 2006 I was in recovery from a Psychosis and the help and support I received from Aberystwyth Mind got me on my feet again. I believe in them as a Charity as they are very pro-active and work to raise the profile of Mental Health. I have chosen now because we are coming up to the European Football Championships and by walking the old border between Wales & England I want to sense whether we are more than just two footballing nations. I hope to reach Hay on Wye by the time of the game on the 16th and possibly have completed the whole trail by the time of the last game against Russia on the 20th. I didn't want to sit in front of a television, I wanted to do something active to help my own mental health and raise money for universal mental health awareness at the same time."
You can show your support by sponsoring Dafydd on either of these two fundraising pages.
